The owner said the gunman came in on May 31 while a staff member was giving a pedicure to a customer. She said the man got away with the customer's wallet and cash from the salon.

Cathy Day, who works as a dog groomer next door, said her business is locking its doors and allowing only customers inside. She was working when the nail salon was robbed.

"I came out front and one of the detectives came and told me what happened,” Day said. “(The detective told me) that they robbed them and they also robbed (at) the beginning of the week a hair salon up the street, and it was a gentleman with a gun."

A hair salon a few doors down was robbed on May 30. The owner told WDSU that the gunman told everyone inside to go to the back of the salon. The owner said the man got away with bag that he apparently thought was full of money, but it contained only hair extensions and styling equipment.

“I am pretty sure if somebody got a gun pointing at you in a life-threatening situation, you would be terrified,” said Steven Deng, who works nearby. "We started locking our doors and we are thinking about changing the lock to the one with a buzz."

Deputies said a white four-door car was seen leaving the nail salon. The two robberies have not been definitively linked to one another, but deputies said they are looking into them being related.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office or Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.
